A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

Rules

All posts must be showerthoughts
The entire showerthought must be in the title
Avoid politics
1. NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
2. Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
3. Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
Posts must be original/unique

I have a Mastodon account but I'm too socially anxious to actually post there

I'm also too socially anxious to post here but the comment format helps me get over it sometimes

Feels more conversational vs shouting into the void vibe.

That's why I've never understood microblogging. I have a mastodon it just seems totally pointless tho.

The illusion of anonymity helps a lot. Nobody knows what we look like or what our net worth is or what gross habits we have, we're all on even playing ground here, sharing our thoughts as anonymous humans.

I get you. I have a private journal that I post my thoughts on, as I don't want some random person I don't know chiming in.
